Bad Manners, composed of vocalist Buster Bloodvessel (born DouglasTrendle), Louis Cook (guitar), David Farren (bass), Martin Stewart (keyboards),Brian Tuitti (drums), Gus Herman (trumpet), Chris Kane (saxophone), and Andrew Marson (saxophone), were one of the many bands to take their inspiration from The Specials and the ska revival movement in England in the late 70s. They quickly became the novelty favorites of the fad through their bald, enormous-bodied frontman’s silly on-stage antics, earning early exposure through 2-Tone Records package tours and an appearance in the live documentary Dance Craze. In the early 80s, they managed several U.K. hits including ‘Ne-Ne Na-Na Na-Na Nu-Nu’, ‘Lip Up Fatty’, ‘Special Brew’, and ‘Can Can’.
